to be an important part Of our
school system. The rudiments OF
anatomy and physiology, the laws
of health and the proper way to
exercise and care for the body
ought to be taught in every public
school. The gymnasium and the
bath school should be a part of

1887. -Fay TempletOn, whose last
appearance before the New York
public was made in "Evangeline,n p
at the Fourteenth street theater,
is playing leading lady in a novel
court proceeding before Chief
Justice Colorldge aud Mr.. Justice

She obtained yesterday an in.

Mr.. Edwardes gave Miss Temple
ton the usual two weeks notice of
discharge, aud in her affidavit she
admits that she received it, but
she declared she had complied
with all the rules of the theater,
had given satisfaction to the pub

accept the notice. Mr.. Edwardes
and his friends say that Miss TEN
pleton has not given satisfaction
from the first. At the opening
night of Monte Cristo jr.,n she
was Kissed because of the inde.
cency of her song called Il Like

The principal reasons, however,
which Mr.. Edwardes had for Civ

that the lord chamberlain objected
to her dress on the ground that il

Edwardes. The stage manager
was instructed to provide Misl
Templeton with q scarf to weal

somewhat, but this she refused tC

BeeCher on Future Punishment.

New York, February 22.--In his
sermon Sunday morning Mr.. Hen
ny Ward Beecher said: I" IL q
man believes in the old idea oi
hell to day he is a candidate for q
lunatic asylum. He has got to
give up his Christ or his hell.
Men are rescued and saved by the
voluntary suffering Of love, and the
idea is inconsistent with the old
idea of u God of vengeance. The
revised Bible has left hell pretty
much out, and has put in sheol aud
hades. This does not put out the
idea of future punishment. be.
lieve in that, but the old macbin
cry and methods of punishment
are given up.
"No man, Mr.. Beecher said,
fought to DO converted by a sud.
den change unless he has been liv.
ing in the lower plane of his ami.
NAL nature. Such a man fears
only that he will go to hell and be
damned. If a man cannot be held
by any other element, let him be
held by that. Such man begins
by giving up swearing, tells as few
lies as his business will let him
llaughterl, and he begins to try
and do right. Such a man has
not done much, but he has laid q
good foundation.n
In speaking of the diversity
among men and their various
methods of getting to Heaven Mr..
Beecher used the following illus.
tration: "Take worm, n tortoise,
q horse and an eagle, and tell them
to go from New York to Penny.
vania. The worm would wiggle
the tortoise would crawl, the horse
would walk and the eagle would
fly; but all would get there just
the same" Laughter.

The Dreaded Australian Rabbit.

Commissioner Colman, of the
Department of Agriculture, has
prepared q letter in which he says :
For some time the press of the
country has contained paragraphs
relating to the expected introduce
ton In tho United States of the
Australian Rabbit, and the gravest
fears have been expressed con-
cerniDg the probable effect ofsuch
importation upon our agricultural
industries. Hence o few facts
concerning this rabbit may prove
of interest. In the first place it
should DO stated that in reality
there is no "Australian rabbit,p
no species being native to that
country. The rabbit that has
dono so much harm in Australia
and New Zealand is an introduced
species, namely the common rab-
bit of Europe. Not only did this
rabbit become pest to the gar
dcners and fruit growers, but 1t
soon multiplied to such an extent
as seriously to interfere with sheep
raising by destroying the pastu-
rage. In Now Zealand the legis-
lature took the matter In hand In
1867 and began the enactment of
series of stringent laws for the
suppression of the rabbit scourge.
In 1861 more than 100000 acres of
sheep runs had been abandoned
on account OF the rabbits, and the
loss to the exports of the colony
was calculated to be $4,000
per annum; and it was estimated
that 1S0,000,000 of rabbits were
killed in New Zealand in little over
three years. In the United States
we certainly have enough rabbits
of our own, aud the injury they
now inflict upon our agricultural
industries is by no means insight
icaut, if any reliance is TO be pla-
ced upon the complaints of fruit
growers in the Mississippi Valley
and in California. Many cases
might be cited, prominent among
which may be cited the English
sparrow, to show that the trans
porting of a naturally prolific spe'
cies to country where the con-
ditions for existence are favorable
gives it o peculiar impetus, and
enables it to crowd out and super.
cede the indigenous related spe.
cies. While there is no positive
evidence to show that the Euro
pean rabbit would be the curse In
this country that it is in Australia
and New Zealand, yet there is no
proof to the contrary, and Its IN
PRODUCTION would be, to say the
least. unnecessary. But unless
there IS premeditated importation
by dealers, there would seem -
be no occasion for alarm.
